Blew up this morning when I couldn't get to school on time because of the flooding.
Blew up again this afternoon because I was talking on the phone with my mom while there was a downpour and people were yelling laughing talking all at the same time, and my mom was really annoying me.

I was 2 minutes away from finishing something and I was hyperfocusing and a coworker came in to vacuum under my desk and I was rude to her. And now I'm afraid I hurt her feelings even though she said she understood.

Going to look at cars with a friend and then freezing and not knowing what to do when the car salesman came up to talk to us (him).

Woke up this morning, figured out my routine I was going to be doing while I was in the shower. I do what needs to be done and then I realize right before I was leaving that I never ate yet and then when I was on the road I realize I never got the laundry out of the dryer. Typical of me.

While in the office kitchen, a co-worker was talking about her pets. I absentmindedly studied the floor tile pattern as she spoke.

Hurt my throat screaming and yelling at the printer this morning, because I had problems every step of the way while trying to get it to print for me. Panicked, called my girlfriend three or four times, resolved the matter on my own with simple things I'd been too upset to manage at first. Called my girlfriend to let her know all was okay. situation blew over as quickly as it'd come on. But during it was hellish!

I think this counts as a couple....
My boyfriend had some friends over and we were playing cards. Someone dealt the cards out to everyone and then a few people decided to have a smoke break. I picked up my cards and realized others were smoking and not playing the game yet and I did not want to smoke so I held my cards and stared at a can for the full 10 minutes they took. Aside from the moment my boyfriend poked me where I told him "I'm on pause. Please stop that."
Later on in the night, I had card game mishaps. We played 2 games I had never played before and the rules had to be explained to me. I was playing and had a good hand so I was going to go for the win. Well I tried but apparently I had to do it on my turn. I did, but I did it at the wrong point in my turn apparently which confused and frustrated me because I'd have to draw a card my next turn and lose the good hand. So I did and the card was just 1 less than I had before so I was fine with it, but everyone was just looking at me like 8O 8O 8O 8O and yelling "Why did you do that? You could have drawn one and threw it! Now you've lost the game!" I did not care because winning the game meant nothing to me but apparently I did something incredibly stupid. I intentionally tried for a losing hand the next round because I did not like the attention the (almost) winning hand brought to me.
Even later, we played a different game, I did not understand it at all. I lost (not surprising) and my boyfriend won. We started a new game. He asked me if I had a 5 in my hand. I said "maybe".. noticing the 5 in my hand, but weary to give it to him as I did not want to cheat. He said "Come on! You lost! You have to trade cards with me!" So I attempted to grab his cards out of his hand while handing him my own. Rejected. Confused... He told me to give him the 5 in my hand. I asked him what he had to offer me. He got upset. I said "I thought we were trading cards. I would like a fair trade." People around me are laughing and trying to explain the rules to me. I'm sitting there wondering why people can't say what they mean or explain the rules BEFORE requesting me to follow the rules I do not yet know....
Two days later he tells me how embarrassed he was of my behavior that night and how everyone was so frustrated with me. I thought I was getting along well with everyone. I am very disappointed. :oops:

Had a quasi-meltdown because I wanted to draw when I got home from tutoring, but the dog was scratching in his cage, the air conditioning was making funny noises, my clothes were bothering me, I was stressed and couldn't focus, the dog was licking his bone....and on and on.

Ended up in a stimming frenzy by pacing, hand flapping, mentally drawing patterns on the wall, and repeating the arabic and hebrew alphabets to myself. Too tired to draw now.

Glad no one usually sees me like this...

I hate it when I get those stares from everyone in the room. I find myself trying to brush it off with laughter but it is frustrating and makes the rest of the night very uncomfortable for me.

I understand the laughter from people if they're just laughing because they're having a good time overall and think it's funny that you didn't know the rules and did something unexpected, but if people actually were frustrated with you and were laughing AT you for not knowing the rules, it's another story.

I also hate it when I think things have gone well and I get told later that the opposite happened. I feel so out-of-the-loop. All of that effort and it still didn't work out how I wanted. :(

I just played the same song over 200 times in a row.

I was also playing Portal 2 yesterday and the siren noises which came on during one of the test chambers made me rip my headphones off and start stimming. I was rocking myself and my friend just kind of stared at me and asked if I was autistic. Needless to say that was the day I finally told him.

Had a big misscommunication with my job coach....

On monday I thought she told me to call before our meeting on Wednesday before leaving to make sure she there.
On Wedneday, I call 3o mintues before I had to meet her but she didn't answer but she didn't answer so I left a message.
2o after that I text her.
45 mintues she textes me saying that she waiting for me and why ain't I here? I was confused cause I thought I was supposed to call her before leaving to meet her. End up not seeing her at all. Not sure where I when wrong? 8O

It really helps me on obnoxious pages--especially those with white text on dark backgrounds.

I went to a work-related social gathering. I spent the whole time with a couple coworkers along the sides. I left an hour later and found myself a little tired.

Once when I was on the psych ward, the nurses made me go to art therapy. I refused to do any art and spent the whole session sorting out the pencils, pens and paints in order of hexadecimal colour code.

Today when my mum told me not to bring her trolley thing up the steps because it had too much heavy shopping in, and guess what I did without thinking? Bring the trolley up the steps and broke one of the wheels. I don't think I'm Aspie. I'm just mentally ret*d.
